MotionPod Uno

Motion Pod UnoThe MotionPod Uno is a compact, low cost, desktop format single-axis motion controller.

Using the wide range of options available on the Galil DMC-300xx controller, the Uno can control a two-phase bipolar stepper motor in 1⁄16, ¼, ½ or full step increments at up to 1.4A per phase. Alternatively it can be specified as an 800w brushless sinusoidal servo drive or 6A per phase microstepping drive.

All connections are made using standard DSub connectors

There is an integral power supply.

Several Unos can be daisy chained together using the Ethernet ports without an external hub. The Uno can be operated standalone, or networked via Ethernet to a PC.

Optional Features

  • Servo, stepper or microstepping drive options
  • Real-Time clock option
  • SSI and BiSS encoder option
  • Screw terminal break-out convertor for DSub connectors
